Err, bzzt again. Since when are metal connectors on both sides patentable? I see it in my AGP card, my PCI cards, and ISA cards. Oh, and in my SEGA Genesis. (OK, I don't own a Genesis. Let's pretend I do, SEGA 0wnz NoA. They almost supported hobbyism once!:)
This was mentioned in the case of Sega vs. Accolade where Accolade used the 4 magic bytes to get the game to start up ('S', 'E', 'G', 'A' makes the ROM happy and displays the license screen.)
You'll also notice the GB(Orig/Pokt/Lite/Colr/Advc) has the "Nintendo(R)" logo placed/scrolling, and when you take out the cart, it turns black. (At least on a GBO/P/L/C) There are about 20 bytes in the ROM file (I know, I've worked with these suckers) that have that graphic in GBC packed tile format that is checked in ROM. (NoA has also sued a church group making edutainment for the GBC for infringement, NoA lost.) Also, if anyone remembers the Y2Kode demoscene compo, NoA sent a C+D to Lik-Sang/Y2Kode saying you're gonna get a court summons if ya don't take down the GBC ROMs. NoA has always been against the demoscene, and always will. I suggest a boycott.

The news that China is a state comes as a surprise to me, perhaps more surprising than the censorship that's taken place that we've known about for ages (ref./. icafe story that I'm too lazy to find.)
Oop, missed a big feature - it's pretty overclockable, and the MoBo wil tell you from Windows CPUCooL or BIOS what speed the fan's running at, as well as how hot CPU's running, not to mention the actual MoBo voltages (3.3,5.5,12) [which seem to be a little low here...]
Err, I would. Inexpensive, powerful, and upgradeable. For $900, I get:
CD-RW

80GB Disk
Athlon XP 1900+ (because AMD is just better)

As well, it's quiet. I just ordered my recovery CDs yesterday, all I said is I'm planning on changing to Linux, and that I don't wanna wait 3 days PC-less for it to arrive.
Right now, it is happily installing SuSE. My only gripe is the NTFS5 partition - PM6.0 can't resize it so I had to nuke it. Oh well, live and learn.
Microsoft tells Dell, HP, etc that if they want to offer OSX then windows wil cost $$$$ more per copy.
WTF?!
Isn't this what they're in court for, saying that "if you want to offer operating system X, Y, or Z, then you need to pay 3x the amount for Windows?" And, what if a major manufacturer says, "We've been getting enough requests for OSX, give us a competitive deal or you're screwed?" Sure, they'll charge $100 more for hardware, but every Linux user this side of... um... Pluto... will flock to that manufacturer.
On a side note, what will the next version be called? OS11? OSXI? (Hmm, have fun pronouncing that, as if there weren't enough people saying oh ess ex, rather than oh ess ten.... I can see it now... oh ess ekzee? oh ess zee?)
...when I repartition for Linux, I've gotta wait a couple of weeks for HP to decide that my hard drive really is dead, and then another few weeks to get the discs out here. Smart HP. Time to go pull out the newsgroups, or otherwise... out of curiousity, anyone with a newish Pavilion and a DVD Burner? I'd pay ya $5+media for a DVD with the reco partition on it...;)
